How can they suit anyone? You'd have to significantly shorten the toptube/stem just to be able to reach the brakes, no? As you move your hands further apart your reach decreases
What I mean is with bars that big I can't see how it's possible for the tops, hoods and drops to all be comfortable.

Well that bike has a tiny stem, i believe it's to make it feel more like the control of the MTB on rough stuff by being wide. Pete did say he had wanted the drops to be a lot shallower than they came out on these.
I know a super tall guy who loves the crust/ultraromance ones. I would never ride them.

It's singlespeed.
He was saying it bolt on BB means you can change completely how the bike rides by moving bb/saddle front and back.
The extra wide handlebars looks horrendous to me, but guess they suit some people.
